Atlanta’s Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections Fined For Unlawful Disposal of Sensitive Documents

Atlanta’s Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections is in deep water with the law after recklessly disposing of voter documents in the Atlanta Technical College construction dumpster.

30 boxes of documents were found, dating back to 2007. Over 100,000 people have personal information, such as names and social security numbers, at risk.

Due to this unlawful disposal of documents, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections was ordered to pay over $120,000 in fees and penalties

Letters have been sent to those affected, and voters are strongly urged to consider identity theft protection and monitor their credit reports.
